No really, it is more like this: An excerpt from an article out today.Oregon women seeking shelter from homelessness or abusive men are being forced to share sleeping and bathroom facilities with men who “self-identify” as a woman. State anti-discrimination laws in that state require these women’s shelters to take in men who “self-identify” as a woman, a sheltered woman reported.
Despite her compassion for the man who “self-identified” as a woman, Davis said the shelter is wrong in putting women in a situation that interferes with their peace of mind, the very reason they sought shelter. “It jeopardized the security of a dozen or so women for the benefit of one man’s sense of belonging. Not only that, but for every man who is admitted into a women’s shelter under the speciousness of gender ideology, untold numbers of bona fide women are left waiting on the streets. That is not just unfair, it’s unjust.”

@Fairlane67 I see your point.

As a father of daughters, and not trusting of the many many pervs among us...For me, I really just see this as a basic, simple protection of young girls and women. I have a hard time seeing past that.

@Fairlane67 That is understandable. We might not agree on this particular issue, but we certainly both want our kids to be healthy and safe - that's a pretty big thing to have in common I think.It is really important to understand the situations in which abuse actually takes place. It is not in public bathrooms with strangers- much more likely to be someone they know. 90%! Please read this website about the statistics of abuse and where and how it takes place -
